When the Spaniards saw the sudden ambush on both sides of the battlefield, they panicked for a moment.
I accidentally fell into the enemy's siege, and fear inevitably surged up.
The ambush soldiers of the Liberation Army, carrying spears and waving swords, surrounded the battlefield from both sides.
As officers, Li Guangyuan, Shi Yongxin, Liu Shantai, Hu Dinggao and others also imitated Zhu Hongyu's personal presence in the battle formation and rushed to the front to boost the morale of the troops.
An officer took the lead in the charge, and the morale of the Liberation Army was greatly boosted!
Zhu Hongyu broke free from the soldiers holding him back and shouted urgently.
"Brothers, fight back! Fight back!"
"Stop forming formations and cooperate with the ambush brothers to kill all these red-haired men!"
"Kill!!"
The soldiers of the Liberation Army who were still fleeing saw their own ambush appear, and their morale recovered a little, so they no longer fled.
Amid Zhu Hongyu's urgent cry, they rearranged their formation, raised their spears, and pierced the Spaniards with their sharp spear points.
"One or two!"
"prick!"
"One or two!"
"prick!"
"..."
Amidst the uniform shouts, the soldiers of the Liberation Army desperately stabbed the Spaniards with their spears.
The Spanish square was attacked from three sides. Faced with a forest of spears and enemy troops whose strength far exceeded their own, they could only parry hard.
People were stabbed to death with spears one after another and turned into cold corpses.
Wang Youcai tried his best to stabilize his subordinates and led them to charge forward.
Waving a steel knife in his hand, he led his cronies to kill the Spanish spearmen.
He wielded his steel sword and slashed at the Spanish spearmen.
Spanish melee soldiers came forward with swords, and the two sides fought fiercely.
Zhu Hongyu pulled out the bayonet on his musket, loaded it, and aimed quickly, all in one go.
There was a crisp sound and smoke filled the air. A Spanish soldier on the opposite side was hit in the forehead by a lead bullet.
The lead bullet penetrated his head, flipping off the Tianling Cap, and blood and brain matter sprayed out.
When many musketeers around Zhu Hongyu saw this, they imitated him.
There was a crackle of gunfire, and when fired at close range, the musket almost never went empty.
The Spanish suffered heavy casualties!
The Liberation Army was besieged on three sides, and the Spaniards' living space was constantly being squeezed.
The fierce battle lasted for half an hour!
Half an hour later, there were no Spaniards left standing on the battlefield.
Except for a few prisoners who knelt on the ground after surrendering, the remaining Spanish soldiers were beheaded on the spot.
Human heads were stacked one after another, and the headless corpses sprayed blood everywhere. The smell of blood on the battlefield was overwhelming!
Zhu Hongyu strode to Yada and his son, who were kneeling in surrender, and placed the blood-stained steel knife in his hand on Yada's neck.
He asked with a sneer.
"What did you say to me just now? I didn't quite hear you!"
Yada felt the coldness on her neck, her face turned pale, and she said shivering.
"me……"
"No...don't kill me!"
"You promised to let me go, but you can't keep your word!"
Yada knelt on the ground, hitting her head on the ground without any hesitation, begging desperately for mercy.
Zhu Hongyu said with a sneer.
"I will let you go as I say!"
"But your words don't count. What about your promise to retreat? What about your promise never to do it again?"
"Haha, since you don't keep your word, why should I keep you?"
As he spoke, he raised the steel knife in his hand and wanted to chop off Yada's head.
Yada was so frightened that he screamed and his crotch was wet.
Just when Zhu Hongyu was about to chop off Yada's head, Capello spoke.
"Your Excellency, please don't kill me and my son!"
"I can pay a sufficient price in exchange for my life and my son's life."
Capello is a smart man and a mature colonist.
He knew that since he fell into the opponent's hands and wanted to survive, he had to show his value to the opponent.
"You killed Mr. Oscar and defeated and killed more than a hundred Spanish soldiers head-on."
"But so what?"
"The Governor's Palace has thousands of troops stationed in Manila, as well as huge naval ships. This power is definitely not something you can match."
"Whether you choose to negotiate peace with the Governor-General or continue to resist the rule of the Governor-General, I can help you."
"If you want peace talks, I can build a bridge for you. If you want to continue to resist the rule of the Governor's Mansion, I can also provide you with a batch of supplies."
"Gold and silver, grain, cloth, gunpowder, weapons, craftsmen, medicinal materials..."
"All of these are fine!"
Zhu Hongyu took back the knife and said with a sneer.
"Aren't you afraid that I will turn against you after getting the things and still want to kill you and your son?"
Capello smiled bitterly and said.
"I have no choice but to bet that you are an honest gentleman, right?"
Capello has no choice now. If he and his son want to survive, they can only choose to believe in Zhu Hongyu and bet that Zhu Hongyu will keep his word.
Otherwise, he and his son will have to wait for death!
Zhu Hongyu said with a loud smile.
"Congratulations on your right bet!"
"This general always keeps his word! As long as you can meet my requirements, I will let you and your son live."
Zhu Hongyu sheathed his sword and gave instructions.
"Bring all the prisoners of war down and take care of them!"
"Haosheng is taking good care of him, this is our God of Wealth!"
Of course, he would not negotiate for peace. Zhu Hongyu was just preparing to extort some urgently needed supplies from the Scotch family, that's all.
The Spanish massacred the Chinese living in Manila twice, and two years later they would massacre the Chinese for the third time.
What else is there to talk about?
Talk about a hammer?!
Ordering people to take good care of the prisoners of war, Zhu Hongyu began to count the battle losses and captures of the battle.
Li Guangyuan came to report with a very ugly face.
"General, in today's battle, our Ming Dynasty Liberation Army suffered a total of fifty-two casualties, including thirty-one dead, seventeen seriously injured, and the rest were lightly injured!"
In fact, seriously injured people can also be counted as killed in battle, because with the current medical conditions, there is simply no way to save seriously injured people.
The surgical procedures such as cleaning wounds and suturing that Zhu Hongyu used could only save one lightly injured person.
Seriously injured people usually have no choice but to wait to die!
There are even some extreme generals who will give the seriously wounded a last-ditch wound after the battle to reduce their pain.
It's just that Zhu Hongyu really couldn't do anything to replenish the seriously wounded, so he explicitly requested all-out treatment.
But it is unknown how many of the seventeen seriously injured people can be rescued!
Zhu Hongyu took a deep breath and said.
"Treat with all your strength, don't care about the medicinal materials, the lives of brothers are the most important!"
Li Guangyuan nodded. He looked up and saw Zhu Hongyu covered in blood, as well as several wounds on Zhu Hongyu's body that were still bleeding.
"Brother Yu, the injuries on your body..."
Zhu Hongyu waved his hand and said.
"It's not a problem, it's just a skin injury!"
"Let the medical team take care of the seriously injured first!"
His injury was not serious. He only needed to clean the wound and simply bandage it. He didn't even need to suture the wound.
